Job 6:4

Read in context

Job 6:2–6 · Berean Standard Bible

2 “If only my grief could be weighed and placed with my calamity on the scales.

3 For then it would outweigh the sand of the seas— no wonder my words have been rash.

4 For the arrows of the Almighty have pierced me; my spirit drinks in their poison; the terrors of God are arrayed against me.

5 Does a wild donkey bray over fresh grass, or an ox low over its fodder?

6 Is tasteless food eaten without salt, or is there flavor in the white of an egg ?
